You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the discriminant to determine if the equation can be solved by factoring. If the equation can be solved by factoring, then factor it.
9k^2+6k+1=0
discr.=(6)^2-4*9*1=36-36=0....perfect square...equal roots ....equal to ...-6/2*9=-6/18=-1/3
hence.....9k^2+6k+1=(3k+1)^2
